[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's DeMatha or Gonzaga.  More people know sports than academics.[/quote]

Most people know neither. The only reason you know or care that those schools produce good athletes is because they are local schools. Lots of places have a local school or two that is known for some sports program or another, and can tell you "oh such and such athlete went there." But you or I would never recognize the name of the school because it's in Dallas or Denver or Atlanta or something.

People know Sidwell because it made the news a lot as the place that Chelsea Clinton and the Obama girls went. It has nothing to do with academics. It has to do with fame. People care about where very famous people go.[/quote]

This is just completely wrong. Just because you don’t follow football or basketball doesn’t mean that millions and millions of people do. Sidwell is fairly well known because the Clintons and Obamas but you grossly underestimate how many people could name more than a handful of the high school football powers. [/quote]
